hmmmm....*Malohkan ponders a new game involving breaking in to the GooglePlex, defeating the Google-bots, and saving the world from mass storage of personal information... using LWJGL when he learns how to use it *

You have to jump, turn around three times and count to 100 with your eyes closed, then you get some invites. No, seriously, I don't know how they distribute them . I've had an account for quite a while and then the amount of invites increases.

I now obtained a @googlemail.com account thanks to your invitation code.

How does Google decide if the invitated person shall obtain a @googlemail.com or a @gmail.com account?

Um. Oh. Are you sure it isn't selectable then? I have received mails about people accepting invitations to google mail as well as to gmail (those are automatic from the google/gmail teams), and I don't suppose it's completely random.

Yes I couldn't select. I changed the language in the menu and the location but this didn't affect the @<ending>.It's no problem, because actually Google aliases the adress@googlemail.com to adress@gmail.com and vice versa, but as a developer we always want to know all details, isn't it? :-)

I also believe that gmail.com and googlemail.com are interchangeable... at least for now. I read somewhere that the rights of the name 'G-Mail' belong to somebody in UK who's now forcing Google to rename GMail as googlemail in England and Germany...
